Given a line segment that contains the points a, b, & c in order, and given b is the midpoint of ac, if ab = 10x - 8, and bc = 5x + 17, find x.

If b is the midpoint, that means AB and BC are the same lengths, so 10x-8=5x+17. Subtract 5x from both sides: 5x-8=17. 
Add 8 to both sides: 5x=25
Divide by 5 and find that x=5.

Ifound this on google “a skewed (non-symmetric) distribution is a distribution in which there is no such mirror-imaging. a "skewed right" distribution is one in which the tail is on the right side. a "skewed left" distribution is one in which the tail is on the left side. the above histogram is for a distribution that is skewed right.” i hope this you for what your looking for
